He has been around long enough. His stories are about average, not really excellent, but there are worse stories. Yet his last four stories have been flagged to oblivion or removed by someone. I have googled the stories themselves and they were fairly OK. Can someone shed a light on this?
- pg 17y agoThat was a mistake. (He submitted something from hubpages.com, which is very popular with spammers, but which was mistakenly set to autoban instead of merely autokill.) In general, though, please send me an email about situations like this rather than posting about it.
